Neste sábado (31), Luisa Stefani, terceira do ranking mundial, e a canadense Gabriela Dabrowski (quarta) garantiram vaga na final do WTA 500 de Tóquio — a mesma quadra onde Stefani ganhou o bronze olímpico em 2021, ao lado de Laura Pigossi.
Elas viraram sobre as australianas Storm Hunter e Maya Joint por 5-7, 6-4 e 10-3, em 1h42min.
É a 15ª vitória consecutiva e a quarta final seguida; agora buscam o quarto troféu em sequência e o sétimo da temporada. A dupla soma títulos no SP Open e nos WTA 1000 de Wuhan e Pequim, além de Dubai, Estrasburgo e Eastbourne, com vice em Wimbledon em 2026.
"Hoje foi duríssimo o jogo. Elas jogando muito bem principalmente a Maya Joint muito sólida, firme, com ótimas bolas. Tivemos oportunidades no primeiro set, acabamos não convertendo, mérito delas que jogaram bem. No segundo e terceiro sets tivemos que lutar contra a maré, não nos rendemos, nos recusamos a perder. No final encontramos a solução e jogamos um super tie-break impecável. Vitória suada e vamos nos preparar para a final contra as italianas Errani e Paolini, ótimas adversárias", disse Stefani. Ela elogiou as adversárias da decisão, as italianas Sara Errani e Jasmine Paolini.
A final será na madrugada de domingo, por volta das 2h (de Brasília), na quadra central.
Stefani já tinha o bi do torneio ao lado da húngara Timea Babos. Na carreira, ganhou o bronze em Tóquio 2021 com Pigossi, o título de duplas mistas do Australian Open de 2023 ao lado de Rafael Matos e, em 2026, retomou a parceria com Dabrowski. Começou a jogar tênis ainda criança, em São Paulo, mudou-se para os Estados Unidos em 2011 e chegou ao 10º lugar juvenil antes de passar pela Pepperdine University e conquistar o primeiro WTA em Tashkent, em 2019.
